Motion to Compel Deadline Calculator

Plan a motion-to-compel filing date with flexible manual inputs. Enter the rule-based day count you want to use, then review the full-width report below.

Discovery response due / trigger date

Use the date the response was due, served, missed, or otherwise triggered your filing period.

Days allowed to file

Manual input is allowed. Type the exact number from your rule, order, or office practice.

Counting method

Calendar days include weekends inside the count. Court days skip weekends and selected holidays.

Extra service days

Add manual service days only if your rule allows them.

Manual adjustment days

Use this only when a local rule or order adds or shortens time. Negative values shorten the period.

Discovery cutoff date

Optional. Use this if your motion must be filed or heard before discovery closes.

Safety buffer days

This creates a practical earlier target date before the final deadline.

Court / rule label

Optional. Add the rule or order name for your own reference.

Your note

Optional manual note to keep your output more useful.

Skip observed U.S. federal holidays when moving a deadline or counting court days
